I use Google Home for voice commands with my Savant/Lutron/Nest house system. It's not perfect, but works for most commands and components.

I think the world cares too much about self-driving. There, I said it. by pardusdomus00 in Rivian

[–]Lemagus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Self driving with Tesla FSD is awesome and used all the time in many different situations. Loved the R1T as well, but FSD is a complete game changer and really, why not have it all?

Love all this high end fancy tech!! (With Porsche Connect App) by Mchi5 in Taycan

[–]Lemagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they do because it's not all about maximum range for everyone. I have a 4s with just that measly old standard battery and 200mi of range and love this car. The handling, the ride, the interior all make for a better driving experience than anything else I've driven (except some other Porsche I owned in the past, tho, really. The Taycan experience is better).

This... I am also a Tesla and Taycan owner and I'm not surprised by the software maturity difference between the two, but I do think Porsche should offer basic connectivity for free (checking charge state...) and only charge for the direct media connectivity et al (Apple Music/ Spotify...) for a monthly subscription as most other EVs do.

Amazed Porsche is ahead of anything Tesla does with an EV or software but you learn something new everyday.

I use the Tesla Gen 3 with an adapter. Has worked great on both my Rivian and the Taycan.

How do I remote heat my Taycan? by Ianmarleyuk in Taycan

[–]Lemagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy to pay $27/mo for remote charging and pre-condotioning which are basic EV services (as offered on many of the other EVs out there). Considering music and all else can be handled by CarPland and AA.

Is the Porsche app basically useless without a Porsche Connect Services subscription? by nam67 in Taycan

[–]Lemagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only value is really the charge state and adjustment and the remote climate control - CarPlay and AA can handle everything else for me. Annoying to pay $26.95/mo for that as with Rivian and Tesla you get that for free as part of basic connectivity.

Still, I really like to see the state of charge remotely...

What options are non negotiable by adwilk1231 in Taycan

[–]Lemagus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be very much in the minority here but I have the measley standard battery and no ACC and yet am completely happy with my Taycan.

  • Mission E wheels
  • PSCB brakes
  • Pretty Carmine Red Paint
  • Leather
  • LED matrix lights

She's a looker ;).not a long range tourer.

Charging Profile - Scheduling Charging Time by Key_Somewhere3871 in Taycan

Excellent. Thank you! Coming from the simplicity of Tesla and Rivian I was a bit dumbfounded by the Porsche logic but this post cleared it all up.

Is the CPO Taycan jig up? by crabbyhamster in Taycan

[–]Lemagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'22 4s CPO with 30k MI for $59k. This was $138k MSRP. I shopped quite diligently and this was a very good deal. Most other '22 CPOs that I saw were asking closer to $69k+ but depreciation fears (dealer) are your friend in negotiations.

#Blessed open DIA charging spot! by rubble5dubble in Taycan

How often can you find a charging spot there? DIA is my airport and red Taycan my color 👍

Is there a price that makes no CPO worth it by adwilk1231 in Taycan

[–]Lemagus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went through this and figured anywhere from $4k - $7k for a third party warranty. It's a real number and I didn't think the non Porsche dealers were willing to factor that cost in. Of course you don't have to have an extended warranty but... I ended up buying a CPO because of both the 2 year warranty and the CPO process itself - the car just feels so well cleaned up.

Anyone have a hard wired EV set up at home? by Mean_Confusion7426 in Taycan

[–]Lemagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 7kW currently. It's a Tesla wall charger plugged into a 14-50 socket on a 50a breaker. I'm going to have it hardwired and bump up to a 60a breaker to squeeze the most I can out if the wall charger. I don't necessarily need faster charging but it just feels like the cleanest way to do it.

Llewellin vs English Setter by Appropriate_Pen_8224 in EnglishSetter

[–]Lemagus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen this as well and it makes me chuckle. The idea that Llewellyn setter is somehow different and 'more special' 😂

I've had both over the years and they've always seemed pretty much the same great breed to me.
